Simon Jones (front) and Charles Burke, Geography and Environmental Studies students, attended a conference on sustaniable energy in the United Arab Emirates

Charles (Chas) Burke and Simon Jones, two football players and students in Geography and Environmental Studies, devised a creative way to take a course. Charles and Simon proposed to travel to Environment 2007, an international conference on “Integrated Sustainable Energy Resources in Arid Regions” in the United Arab Emirates. “Because of the importance of conferences to the study of the environment — for example, the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols, the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro — we wanted to experience these major transfers of knowledge for ourselves,” says Charles. “Our professors were very supportive of the project.” Then they had to find the funds to attend the conference. The Political Studies Department, the Athletic Department, and The McConnell Student Opportunity Fund provided some funding. Charles and Simon worked hard to raise the remainder. At every basketball game they sold tickets for a halftime court shot contest. They were also grateful for help from Peter Dunn ’66. Before attending the conference at the end of January, Charles and Simon spent time conducting research on sustainable energy and development and on the cultural background of the Middle East. The conference was a great experience. “We were able to ask questions in the lecture hall and talk to people at the exhibitions.” What struck Charles most? “Although experts can meet and talk about solutions and build the latest technology, saving the environment is ultimately up to the attitude of individuals.” Charles is optimistic about the future. “The fact that a country in the heart of the Middle East whose wealth is in fossil fuel energy is interested in sustainable fuels is very encouraging. I believe there will be significant progress in my lifetime.”
